I tried a Belkin PS/2 KVM switch between my win95 machine and an Inspiron 1200
with Belkin PS/2 to USB adapter.
It worked okay sort of, for a while.
On the Inspiron 1200, the monitor (NEC Multisync LCD1700V) characters

I have an inspiron, and shut it down about an hour ago. When I went
to
reboot , all the lights come on then they go off and only the power
light stays on. The screen stays blank and the hard

I find it very difficult to use the scroll feature on the side of the
Inspiron touchpad. It often get stuck on auto scroll unexpectedly. I have
tried changing the settings without sucess.

Ok, I'm posting this for a relative who owns a Dell laptop he bought
four or five years ago (or longer) running Windows XP.
   Here's the deal - he can only get dial-up at his home.  He goes thru
a local internet provider.  For e-mail he uses Outlook Express.  He also

Well, if you set up to order a desktop, it winds up costing more
than the laptop equivalent, or pretty nearly so.  (9200 vs say 9400)
The advantage of the desktop seems to be that it can take 4gb ram.

Dimension 8400 MCE, looking through Newegg I see there is a couple
manufactures that have HDMI out cards, but most do not have great
ratings from users. I am not a gamer but would like to get the best

Can I add an INTERNAL card to this e1405 and achieve Sprint
EV-DO? My PCMCIA slot is occupied by a MOGO mouse...

Well, I guess the XPS are labeled poorly too :)
Has anyone seen one of these?  My daughter's I6000 died a horrible death
and so I'm going to trickle down my I9300 to her.
Then I get my own new laptop.

My daughter's i6000 fan runs all the time.  It's quiet, but it runs all
the time, even when the machine has been idle for hours and closed up in
standby.  I'd like to clean the fan, but not by blowing compressed air
into it.  I'd rather gain access to it and suck up any dirt/lint ...

I just made a post regarding some computers I've owned.
I still have my first one: a Commodore Pet 4032 and it probably still works.
I've kept it with the idea that maybe one day it will be worth a lot (like
those finds on those antique shows).

The Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand is pretty nifty, having got one.
Runs quietly off a USB port, produces noticeable cooling as
well as a little draft that cools your arms.  Of course that
convenience does cost you a USB port, if you're short of them.

I have full installs on different hard drives of Vista and XP on my
640m laptop.
Without a doubt, things run faster on Vista.  Word 2007 is very fast
on Vista -- it probably runs in about 2 seconds, while on XP it takes
